wax not so bad?
Dreading Methods
let me just say this about my personal experience with waxed dreads so far... i used knotty boy... i waxed them the first initial time when they were created, then after waiting a week i washed them for the first time... about 30% of the wax that was in my dreads were then gone, after that i dried them out then waxed again but a significant amount less than the first time i showered a couple of days later and more wax was gone, i didnt need to use "extreme temps" it was just the soap that removed most of it, and recently all i have been using was sea salt water and by itself seems to hold them really well, and eventually when i get paid im switching to aloe, dr. bronner's magic soap, sea salt water and tea tree oil... ive done a little bit of research with the path that im taking and i think it seems solid... but one point i would like to add is that, the first impression i got from this site personally was "being unique is beautiful"

look some people survive motorcycle accidents without a helmet does that mean riding without a helmets smart? what about the 2/3 who die from brain damage?
yes u will meat a few who used wax and still have dreads after a few years..maybe even 5..hell i met 1 who had 10 year old waxed dreads..but what about the thousands and thousands who cut theyre wax dreads off?
if u only want dreads 2-4 years..go ahead and wax..you will hate the sticky stiff mess but its your choice to make
but if u want dreads that last arent stiff sticky or smell gross then dont wax..wax does absolutely nothing good tho so i am clueless why youd take the risk
would u have sex with a crack ho without a condom just cause 1 guy did and claimed to not get an std?
there have been people who jumped off the empire state building and survived..is that proof that jumping off a 40 story buildings "not so bad"?
dude u meet 1 or 2 wax survivors good for u..u also have 800 wax victims here telling u not to wax...
chastised? no try they are just trying to educate u and save u from yourself
but..
u can do what u want..
u can always start over in a couple years
maybe you'll be lil wiser then
